so... its impossible for me to pinpoint the moment in the what-now-seems-distant past at which i developed a negative attitude toward mike rowe... sadly, it probably stemmed from a twinge of jealousy i felt in reaction to some sigh or perhaps more primal sound my wife made in response to seeing mike without a shirt, or some other equally ridiculous and truly unimportant regardless-of-my-fragile-ego incident. i do know that it had nothing to do with mikes intelligence or political views. i just somehow started not liking him. loved his show, mind you... and it wasnt a strong negativity, like hatred or anything... i just kinda grumbled and dismissed him as that damn mike rowe and his molasses voice and strong jaw. anyway - and i posted about this recently - the more i learn about the handsome and charismatic mike rowe, the more i realize hes also the intelligent, honest, earnest mike rowe. as i have said before, i dont always agree with mike... but damn... hes smart, funny, entertaining... generally hes a guy id like to hang out with for beers and idle banter. anyway, great bit here from mr. rowe and it may sound arrogant, but he highlights the necessary inclusion of NPR in my DONT FREAKING LISTEN TO THE NEWS!! attitude. i try to stay up on current events, but i do so by reading and listening to and watching MANY sources critically... and then making up my own arrogant mind about the truth. i mean, after all, thats what truth is anyway, right? our own perceptions, however warped? (that last bit is mostly a joke, btw... kinda troll-ish maybe, but im leavin it in, dammit) anyway, yay mike. almost all my negativity about you is gone now. maybe its a man crush, even... but i promise, i wont stalk you... far too lazy for that.
